The Gitzo GM2560T Traveler monopod is the distillation of the most advanced Gitzo technology into exceptionally compact dimensions. The GM2560T supports cameras up to 9.9 pounds and has a maximum height of 56.3 inches. It features ultra light Carbon 6X tubes, Anti Leg Rotation, 6-section construction and Gitzo's Safe Lock upper disc. It can be fully extended in seconds, allowing unsurpassed flexibility of use. The Traveler monopod can be conveniently stored in any computer bag and it is recommended for "frequent flyer" photographers.

Gitzo monopods continue to set the standard for professionals and advanced amateurs. The range has been completely revised with new features and materials in order to offer lighter, faster and more stable products. Carbon 6X crossed layer tubing makes the GM2560T surprisingly light and even more convenient for transportation. Gitzo's Anti Leg Rotation system is also now available on the GM2560T. Thanks to ALR, this monopod is incredibly fast to operate and the height can be easily and precisely adjusted. The Gitzo GM2560T monopod also features the innovative and exclusive G-Lock system that allows faster and stronger locking and increases rigidity by 20%. It comes with a convenient anti dust bag for storage and packing.

Gitzo GM2560T Traveler Carbon Fiber Reporter Series 2 Monopod Key Features

6-Section Monopod With 56.3-inch Maximum Height

Safe Lock Upper Disc

Safe Lock is a special techno polymer that maximizes locking torque and equipment stabilisation. It is used on the upper discs of tripods, monopods and heads, and in applications where the equipment is rotated and screwed onto the support to eliminate micro movements and vibration.

G-Lock

G-Lock is the new Gitzo leg locking system. The locking mechanism has been completely redesigned in order to achieve a 20% increase in rigidity, faster operation and stronger, safer locking. Unwanted play between lock parts has been eliminated so leg sections lock together as one to give the monopod a rock solid structure. G-Lock's special design also provides a 'gravity lock' effect: the higher the load applied vertically to the leg, the stronger the lock.

Carbon Tube 6X Multilayer Technology

The GM2560T is exceptionally rigid and resistant to torsion, but, thanks to the new Carbon 6X ALR tube, surprisingly light and fast to operate. Gitzo 6X is a high density tube made of top quality ultra thin (7µm) carbon fibers (a 28mm tube contains 1,500,000 carbon fibers). The fibers are combined in a unique structure of 6 crossed layers that minimizes weight yet maximizes rigidity, vibration absorption and performance. In order to optimize the weight-to-strength ratio, Gitzo varies the wall thickness of 6X tube according to tripod series: tubes for series 2 monopods are 1.2mm thick.

ALR (Anti Leg Rotation)

Gitzo's new Anti Leg Rotation system means the monopod can be opened quickly and the height can be easily and precisely adjusted. Simply loosen all the twist locks on the leg at the same time, then pull the leg down and tighten the locks individually.
